On the sea surface of the Western Pacific Ocean, it is 200 kilometers away from Koro Island. http://www.lnwow.net Pinshu
The buoys with anchor chains undulate with the waves and are connected by ropes, drawing a circle on the sea surface.
Eight engineering ships surround the five-square-kilometer sea area, anchored here like a sea platform, and carry out construction procedures day and night. The ship's workers implement a shift system, and they take a rest on shore every week.
Next to it, there is a guardian-class frigate on standby. The majestic electromagnetic naval gun stands at a 45° elevation angle, guarding the surrounding sea area.
Although the Philippines has no more coast guard ships to harass the waters of the new country, the necessary alert procedures are still indispensable. The Stennis aircraft carrier is staring at this place, although they dare not send out drones, but they cannot guarantee that they will not use underwater reconnaissance equipment. The guardian class frigate is equipped with anti-submarine radar and "paper bag-nk" 330mm anti-submarine torpedo, which can play a certain deterrent effect on underwater units trying to approach.
At this time, a large ship carrying a hundred containers approached and stopped beside an engineering ship.
The man in the white shirt threw the towel over his shoulder, walked to the side of the machine, and pulled down the joystick. An iron bridge was built between the engineering ship and the ship, and several soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons and carrying rifles boarded the ship.
The captain hurried to greet them, and led the soldiers of the Star Ring Trade around the ship. After confirming that there was no problem, the foreman of the ship began to yell and call the workers to work.
The goods were divided into two batches, one was taken to the ship, and the other was thrown into the sea with a mechanical arm.
After finishing the work at hand, the man in the white shirt threw the wrench aside, lifted the towel on his shoulders and wiped the sweat from his face, and then watched with empty eyes that the mechanical arm clamped the heavy container and unloaded it into the sea.
Zhou Qiang, the workers he knows call him Qiangzi. He came to the ship two months ago, and he was recruiting, which is considered a relatively high level of workerization among these workers. Although also only read too high.
In the coastal area of Huaguo, many people know about Xinguo, and they also know that there is a big company called Xinghuan Trading there. Not only that, they also know that the boss is a Chinese. I also know that this God's boss is also the major shareholder of the Future Group!
Because they are all Chinese, the boss takes good care of the Chinese. As long as they work in the company for one year and have no criminal record, even blind people like them can get immigration passports. Of course, because of being blind. After getting their immigration passports, they will be arranged to enter the community college on Anga Island, where they will receive half a year of literacy education.
Although it is literacy, it is actually learning mathematics and English. Compared with other developed countries, Huaguo's education penetration rate is already very high, even if they are blind, they can read and write, and they can't understand the recruitment information if they are not literate.
Education in Xinguo is a welfare, not an industry, which is just the opposite of their hometown. And these workers are also happy to learn, saying that knowledge can change destiny, right?
"Tell me. Aren't those iron lumps hot wearing such thick clothes?" He Dong walked to the side, took out two cigarettes, handed one to Qiangzi, and lit one by himself.
The mechanical exoskeleton is mainly made of aluminum and polyethylene, and there is almost no iron except for a few important parts protected by C-shaped steel. However, the black metallic luster of the polyethylene bulletproof board will always make people who don't know how to mistake it for iron bumps.
Zhou Qiang smiled dully, and took the cigarette from He Dong's hand.
"I don't know, maybe they are not afraid of the heat."
He Dong laughed out loud, smoking a cigarette and looking at the two soldiers standing like wooden stakes at the door of the captain's cabin. Smacked his lips.
"It's summer all year round in Xinguo. I'm afraid there will be no chance to see snow in the future."
"Aren't you going home during the Chinese New Year?" Zhou Qiang asked suspiciously.
He Dong gave him a sideways glance, and several smoke rings spewed out from his nose.
"What home? It's impossible to move the house here.
"
"Move the house here?"
"Otherwise? We all came late, like my brother and the others who came here to work first. They work in the Phantom Helmet Factory! It is said that he worked for half a year, and he only got the bonus, and gave the money for a house to It came out." He Dong glanced at Zhou Qiang who didn't know much.
Among all the workers, his career in Xinguo is relatively broad. In 2016, his brother came to Xinguo with the first wave of immigrants, and after several twists and turns, he was arranged to work at the Phantom Helmet Factory. Make that kind of virtual reality stuff. As the factory grew bigger and bigger, his brother also became the team leader, leading a shift of ten people by himself to polish helmet parts.
He is said to be ready to resign now. After collecting enough money, he planned to rely on the contacts accumulated in the factory to get the production order for the helmet shell. Many small businesses in Xinguo made their fortunes from orders for the plastic shells of phantom helmets. With spare cash in hand, he also plans to try.
"A set of houses...there must be more than one million." Zhou Qiang said in a daze.
Although his current basic salary is 1,000 RMB, and the work unit also includes food and housing, but saving more than one million to buy a house... seems to be a very distant thing.
As if seeing the encouragement from his friend, He Dong laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't make it too difficult to buy a house. There are no unscrupulous developers in Xinguo, and the Future Group doesn't care about real estate money, more than one million? You want to live in a villa with a courtyard. For the apartment building with the Huan Trade trademark, at most 200,000 is enough."
"Dollar?"
"RMB! In U.S. dollars, about thirty thousand dollars? I'm not good at math."
Hearing what his friend said, Zhou Qiang's face immediately blossomed with joy. Counting Hai's subsidy, he can get a salary of 2,000 U.S. dollars a month, and if he saves 30,000 U.S. dollars, he can save it for a year and a half.
"However, the welfare housing of Xinghuan Trading is limited to one set per person, and the area is about ten square meters. People, I still have to pursue a little bit. How happy is it to buy a sea view villa to live in if you save a million or so? "He Dong said with a smile.
This pursuit, he also only recently. When he was working in Wanghai City, he worked hard for more than two years, and he never expected to buy a nest in Wanghai City. Later, he accidentally heard his family members mention overseas work, and he realized that there was a shortage of labor in Xinguo, so he followed his brother's path with a mentality of giving it a try.
Now, he doesn't want to go back.
Here, he saw the hope of buying a house.
For most Chinese people, isn't this life for a house and a warm home?
"Fuck some idle mind, hurry up and do all the work. A big man will come to check in a while, be careful if you are lazy, I will deduct your bonus."
Operating the mechanical arm, the container was thrown into the sea, and the foreman with a cigarette butt in his mouth yelled and glanced over.
Seeing that the foreman was dissatisfied, He Dong quickly snuffed out the cigarette butt, and ran back to his post with Qiang Zi. The boxes have been moved, but there seems to be other work to be done. As for the big guy that the foreman talked about, it's not something they little guys care about.
After unloading all the cargo, the rotation separated from the engineering ship and returned to Anga Island.
At the same time, a helicopter was heading in the direction of the engineering ship. (To be continued.)
